XRumer is a piece of software made for spamming online forums and comment sections. It is marketed as a program for search engine optimization and was created by BotmasterLabs. It is able to register and post to forums (forum spam) with the aim of boosting search engine rankings. The program is able to bypass security techniques commonly used by many forums and blogs to deter automated spam, such as account registration, client detection, many forms of CAPTCHAs, and e-mail activation before posting. The program utilises SOCKS and HTTP proxies in an attempt to make it more difficult for administrators to block posts by source IP, and features a proxy checking tool to verify the integrity and anonymity of the proxies used.
Xrumer paved the way for a slew of link spamming software, such as GSA Search Engine Ranker, Money Robot, Seo Autopilot, and Seo Neo. The latest version of the software (Xrumer 23 StrongAI in June 2024) utilizes AI technology to create spam content, solve graphical CAPTCHAs, answer questions, and other automated tasks.
